§ 9-0709. Duties of regional forest practice boards.
The regional forest practice boards shall, subject to the approval of
the state forest practice board and the commissioner, and in order to
procure state assistance for cooperating owners of forest and farm
woodlands, determine the forest practice standards necessary for their
regions. After such standards have been approved by the state forest
practice board and the commissioner, the regional forest practice boards
shall formally adopt such standards and promote their application. The
boards may assist cooperating owners in carrying out such application of
the approved forest practice standards. Regional forest practice boards
may act as agents for this state or any of its agencies or for the
United States or any of its agencies in connection with such assistance
to cooperating owners. The boards may also accept donations, gifts and
contributions in money, services, materials or otherwise from this state
or any of its agencies or from the United States or any of its agencies
or payments from cooperating land owners, and may use or expend such
moneys, services, materials, contributions or payments to promote the
application of the forest practice standards. The boards may approve
forest management plans submitted by land owners in lieu of compliance
with the forest practice standards adopted, provided the standards
embodied in said plans are equivalent to those adopted by the boards.
